Tiger and Rooster
Why this score
- Starting point: a neutral pair 5
- Metal and Wood: one restrains the other
- Complementary yin and yang
- Match score 4.5/10
The score is ours: the classical relation weighs most, the elements and the sources nuance it, yin and yang barely touch it.
The classical relation
The tradition neither binds nor opposes them: none of the six classical relations links these two branches. Their match is read mostly in their elements and their yin and yang.
These relations come from the tables of the classical Chinese tradition, which link the twelve earthly branches.
The five elements
The element of the Rooster tempers that of the Tiger: one keeps the other in check, fruitful while it stays respectful, heavy once it turns into control.
In the cycle of the five phases, each element nourishes another (Wood feeds Fire) and restrains another (Water restrains Fire).
Yin and yang
The sign of the Tiger is yang, the sign of the Rooster is yin: they complete each other, one reaches out while the other takes in.
